Danielle Duffey is a grief educator, SUDC peer ambassador, and host of The Mission Mama Podcast. After the sudden death of her 17-month-old son, Blake, from Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood, she spent three years grieving in silence — until expressive journaling became her lifeline, turning private pain into a daily practice of gratitude and healing.

An Army veteran, Southern Minnesota farmwife, and mother of four, Danielle now leads reflective workshops and retreats that help bereaved parents find their own way to the page. She is co-chair of the SUDC Family Retreat and author of the devotional Lessons in Grief: A 90-Day Journey of Faith and Healing — offering grieving families what she most needed herself: permission, presence, and a place to begin.
